Jarrod Eastman - Fall 2009

Painter Jarrod Eastman, winner of the Painting category at the Fall Tempe Festival of the Arts, has been chosen as the Featured Artist for the Fall 2009 Festival. His “surrealist” images are potent and colorful, perfect for helping us market the Festival. Now from Bozeman, Montana, Jarrod grew up in Arizona. His early influences were skateboard, rock band, and pop culture art. He’s self-taught, and his work has been shaped and reshaped over the last 15 years in the business by the subcultures ranging from skateboarding, punk, jazz, hip-hop, and the spoken word. His most creative moments are infused with motion, music, and color. He brings a fresh, provocative look to the Festival! Check out his images online at www.jrodart.com
